More on xml classpaths

Just an extra note on the xml classpath issue. jdk1.4 comes with an old version of xerces that must be updated for the schema validation to work. I discovered this today when I started running into the same problem as last Friday after I changed the java.endorsed.dirs to be %JAVA_HOME%/lib/endorsed. Even though jdk1.4 ships with a version of xerces, and its in the endorsed directory, my validation failed, until I copied a newer version of the xercesImpl.jar into the endorsed dir. I've used xerces 2.6.1 which does work.
